Dream of herding with your dog - and not sure where to start?

The herding world can feel like a secret society...

with its own language, rituals and handshake

My mission at iHerd is to help you start off on the right foot as you begin your herding journey. Let me help you crack that code!

What is iHerd?

iHerd is more than online herding courses. It’s a place where your questions are heard, your wins are celebrated, and your journey is supported.
Here, encouragement meets action: learn clear skills, ask for help, and connect with other handlers who are figuring it out just like you.

Online courses to build solid foundations
Community so you don’t train alone
Coaching when you need a second set of eyes

SEE WHERE TO START

Hi! I'm Lisa

My goal is simple: To make herding training more accessible for beginners. Whether you're dreaming of trial fields, having sheep of your own, or just exploring a new passion with your dog, I'll help you and your dog build the foundations to get there.

More feedback from handlers:

Lovely, informative and clear videos! Here in Finland can have live training but still i felt that i am missing info and kept looking online! Its good we have global world and can find good things and help! - Tiina Törmänen

I am loving your video, they are a great length, they demonstrate the point well and your dogs look very happy to be working with you! - Keri Gardner

iHerd content has been invaluable for my journey with my young Border Collie. Lisa's content helped me understand so much about pressure, manners, communication and more. When my dog was a puppy I was very confused by a lot of her behaviours and Lisa brought so much clarity that made a world of difference. I can't recommend this content enough! Plus, Lisa is a delight and joy to learn from! - Marissa Recker

Very transparent - no gate keeping like most online dog training. - Morgan Clapp

I highly recommend iHerd. She is easy to chat with, informative, knowledgeable and realistic. We need more dog people like this gal! 🙌 5 stars! - Nicole Lamoureaux

I took her whistle training video. She taught me a lot. - Rich Van Riper

I have referred several people to Lisa and her iHerd training program. They all come back with great reviews and successes. Lisa is knowledgable in the field of stock dog training, and dog training in general, and excels at communicating with clients and their dogs. - Peter LaRue

If you are looking for a place that actually knows what their doing with stock dogs and humans alike, iHerd it is! Lisa Wright is an absolute gem to work with. She took me and my two dogs on for a lesson and somehow managed to be incredibly skilled, wildly patient, and kind enough to survive my bumbling without blinking. That alone deserves a medal.

Lisa has a real gift for breaking things down in a way that makes sense, without making you feel like you should have been born knowing it. She reads dogs beautifully, explains what's happening in real time, and adjusts the lesson so both dog and handlers can actually succeed. My dogs and I both walked away clearer, calmer, and better for it. That doesn't happen by accident. - Marylin Anderson
